This is no surprise since the two have a close relationship, as Trump first endorsed him in his first run for governor in 2018. In the years that followed, Trump also supported Dunleavy during his re-election bid in 2022.
With the primary election in Alaska approaching on Super Tuesday, Governor Mike Dunleavy of the state has endorsed Donald Trump. Trump has the support of several Republican governors and members of Congress. The endorsements of Governor Dunleavy and other prominent politicians continue to strengthen Trump's standing among party leaders.
This endorsement is a huge win for Trump, as it shows that he still has a significant amount of support from conservative voters in Alaska. In the 2020 election, Trump defeated Joe Biden by a wide margin. Also, Governor Dunleavy is a popular figure in the state, with a rating of 62 percent. His endorsement will have some weight in the state.
In Alaska, the political landscape is interesting as it has both urban and rural areas that lean Republican. Due to his knowledge of the state's unique political landscape, Trump could potentially have an advantage in the state. People in Alaska value individual liberties and freedom.

In the presidential race in Alaska, one of the most important factors that will be considered is the implementation of ranked-choice voting. This system will be used in the state for the first time. It could potentially make a difference in the outcome of the election. If Trump can get enough first- and second choice votes, he can easily win the election. However, with only three electoral votes at stake, it's not likely that the candidates will be campaigning in the state.
Although many prominent Republican governors have already thrown their support behind Trump, only five of them have endorsed him so far. This is likely because, during this early stage of the campaign, most of them will come out after the primaries have already started. With so much unpredictable happening in the election cycle, it's possible that more surprising endorsements will be made in the future.
The endorsement of Dunleavy by Trump is a positive sign for the former president. It shows that he has the support of the Republican Governors Association and gives him an edge in the upcoming primary election in Alaska. As the campaign goes on, more prominent politicians will likely come out with their endorsements. For now, Trump has a solid ally in the state.
